Electrical power supply structures

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an electrical power supply structure comprising a plurality of conductors, each conductor extending longitudinally and configured to carry high amperage electrical power, a barrier support plate comprising one or more openings for receiving the plurality of conductors, a first support structure extending longitudinally from a first side of the barrier support plate, and a second support structure extending longitudinally from a second side of the barrier support plate. Each of the first and second support structures comprises a longitudinally extending enclosure having a plurality of transversely extending conductor support members for supporting the plurality of conductors.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. An electrical power supply structure comprising:
 a barrier support plate comprising one or more openings, the barrier support plate configured for mounting over a hole through a floor of a building; 
 a first support structure extending longitudinally upward from an upper side of the barrier support plate; and, 
 a second support structure extending longitudinally downward from a lower side of the barrier support plate through the hole, 
 wherein each of the first and second support structures comprises a longitudinally extending enclosure having a plurality of transversely extending conductor support members, and whereby the structure is configured to receive a plurality of conductors extending longitudinally therethough, with the conductors extending through the one or more openings in the barrier support plate and being supported by the plurality of transversely extending conductor support members of the first and second support structures. 
 
     
     
       2. The electrical power supply structure of  claim 1  comprising a spacer block having an opening sized to fit an outer dimension of one of the first and second support structures and configured to be mounted between the barrier support plate and a floor of a building such that the barrier support plate is held at a predetermined height above the floor. 
     
     
       3. The electrical power supply structure of  claim 1  wherein the transversely extending conductor support members are configured to support conductors in a plurality of phase groups. 
     
     
       4. The electrical power supply structure of  claim 3  wherein the transversely extending conductor support members are configured to support conductors arranged in a circular arrangement. 
     
     
       5. The electrical power supply structure of  claim 3  comprising a shield plate positioned between phase groups. 
     
     
       6. The electrical power supply structure of  claim 1  wherein the transversely extending conductor support members are configured to support conductors in the form of pipes.
